There were much nicer patterns 2 decades earlier - Mother knitted my sister and me gorgeous Tyrolean style cardigans with lots of bobbles and embroidered flowers.

I remember the all in one knitted outfits when my girls were small, they never had one but I have a feeling that Danny my nephew had one in a fetching green colour that his granny had knitted for him. I will have to check back through the family photo archive, that would be a great one to put up on Facebook.VintageWantsNotNeedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988367206640471203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992762951482940335.post-21532974396833809032011-11-14T16:50:54.999+01:002011-11-14T16:50:54.999+01:00Ha ha ha ha you have to smile at those...knitted k...Ha ha ha ha you have to smile at those...knitted knickers that is to much bless any child that had to wear those.

I'm sure they would have suited me, though.
